VMS Help SHOW, BROADCAST  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Displays the message classes that are currently affected by the
    SET BROADCAST command.

    Format

      SHOW BROADCAST

1 - Qualifier

 1.1 - /OUTPUT

       /OUTPUT[=filespec]
       /NOOUTPUT

    Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do
    not enter the qualifier, or if you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier
    without a file specification, the output is sent to the current
    process default output stream or device, identified by the
    logical name SYS$OUTPUT.

    If you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier with a partial file
    specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW
    is the default file name and .LIS is the default file type. The
    asterisk (*)  and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are
    not allowed.

    If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.

2 - Examples

    1.$ SET BROADCAST=ALL
      $ SET TERMINAL/NOBROADCAST
      $ SHOW BROADCAST
      Broadcasts are enabled for all classes
      Terminal is set "No Broadcast", no broadcast messages
      will be displayed.

      The display in this example shows that all message classes
      are enabled for broadcast, but that these messages will not be
      received because the terminal is set NO BROADCAST.

    2.$ SHOW BROADCAST
      Broadcasts are currently disabled for:
          MAIL

      The SHOW BROADCAST display in this example indicates that SET
      BROADCAST=NOMAIL is in effect.

    3.$ SET BROADCAST=(NOALL,USER1)
      $ SET TERMINAL/NOBROADCAST
      $ SHOW BROADCAST
      Broadcasts are currently disabled for:
          GENERAL
          PHONE
          MAIL
          QUEUE
          SHUTDOWN
          URGENT
          DCL
          OPCOM
          USER2
          USER3
          USER4
          USER5
          USER6
          USER7
          USER8
          USER9
          USER10
          USER11
          USER12
          USER13
          USER14
          USER15
          USER16
      Terminal is set "No Broadcast", no broadcast messages
      will be displayed.

      This example shows the display you see when messages from USER1
      are enabled, but will not be received, because the terminal is
      set NO BROADCAST.

    4.$ SET BROADCAST=NONE
      $ SHOW BROADCAST
      Broadcasts are disabled for all classes

      This example shows the display you see when SET BROADCAST=NONE
      is in effect.
